Cruising the Eastern and Southern Caribbean Ports

© By Rita Cook

Last month we took a look at the many exciting ports in the western part of the Caribbean. But that's not all the Caribbean has to offer, there is an entire eastern and southern part just waiting to be discovered with exotic ports as diverse as Montserrat, Puerto Rico and Bonaire.

Take a look at the different choices in this part of the Caribbean and figure out which exotic location caters to what you are looking for on your next trip to sea.

American Canadian Caribbean Line - Low-key cruising to Panama, Central America and the ABC islands during the winter.

Carnival Cruise Lines - Fun, fun, fun. That's the motto and with departure ports like New Orleans, Boston and San Juan the party begins before you even board the ship.

Celebrity Cruises - Not too pricey, with a choice of seven, 10 or 11-night cruises departing from Ft. Lauderdale or San Juan.

Clipper Cruises - For the niche market looking for a nature or cultural experience.

Club Mediterranee, S.A. - Think the Club Med that you have heard of on land, if you like that and don't mind departing from Martinique then this cruise is perfect.

Costa Cruise Lines - It's all about "cruising Italian style" in the warm waters of the Caribbean beginning in Miami.

Crystal Cruises - Sophisticated travelers only. A little too stuffy for the person who enjoys the "party" cruise.

Cunard - Another European experience, think transatlantic crossing and QE2. A choice of seven or 16-day cruises can offer you a chance to see everything you need in the Caribbean.

Disney Cruise Line - The Big RED boat. Of course she departs from Cape Canaveral and the three, four or seven-day cruising options work for just about any schedule.

Holland America Line - This cruise line is classic, but with updated tastes and an itinerary that even offers a 23-day cruise to the Panama Canal.

Norwegian Cruise Line - This is one of the cruises that departs from Los Angeles, Houston, New York; just about any part of the country. Three, four and seven-day cruises allow cruising to be oh, so easy.

Princess Cruises - Somewhat affluent cruisers, but without the European feel. For that, Princesses British counterpart P&O is an excellent option.

Radisson Seven Seas Cruises - Three to 14-day cruises, popular with the affluent cruiser. Good cruises and destinations depend on the time of year you're cruising.

Royal Caribbean International - A fun ship with the big productions offering serious entertainment for everyone; both on and off the ship.
